First impressions 2021 BMW R 1250 GS Adventure at the BMW GS Safari

Shot in 4K so good to watch on TV! I’ve been invited to the 2021 BMW GS Safari being held in Cairns, in tropical north Queensland, Australia to get my first impressions of the new 2021 BMW R 1250 GS Adventure, and to see what it’s like to ride on a Safari and spend some quality time out on the trails with people who just love their Beemers.
Shot in 4K so worth watching on the big screen.
With a great combination of riding environments, from slippery tropical rain forest tracks, to open fast flowing twin trail, twisty mountain black top and fast open roads through huge landscapes, this is an ideal environment to gain some first impressions of this latest GS Adventure to hit the market.
I catch up with Andrew CLUBB AKA Clubby, Editor of Australian Adventure Bike Magazine and we ride together to experience the bike, the riders and the GS Safari event.

    For those new to MAD TV I'd encourage you to look around the channel, we have international adventures, bike reviews and Chris Birch extreme videos and other stuff and most recently some great films from Nick Sanders. Occasionally we go live for some fun. Here are some links to help you find the good stuff.

    They are addictive. Traded one in for a CrossTourer soon realised my mistake and had to get another GS. Two months ago I traded that in for a Pan America Special which is about to be traded in for another GS. As I said they're addictive. And this great video has made me more eager to get another GS as well.

    Clubby, what you said at the 57 minute mark about the group events is exactly why these events are so important to our lifestyle. I don't think of it as only recreation or a sport, it's how I get around mostly. In my mind we need to change how the rest of the world looks at motorcycling,. Recently I had my main mile muncher go down 5 hours to the South of me. I had to move Heaven & Earth to get a tow, and then getting parts for the bike is incredibly slow. We don't hear of this in the other vehicle segments. So, getting more people passionately involved in motorcycling as a viable lifestyle would improve laws, parts availability, insurance rates, etc... I applaud the BMW Safari. Job well done!

    Hello from Texas. I would Love to live in Australia. I Love the People, The Country, and the Camaraderie. That Adventure looked like a really Great Ride. Not Real hard, and by no means easy either. What a Great Time. Everyone had a big Smile on their Faces. I can’t seem to be able to find any kind of Organized Adventure Rides like that where I Live. Going it alone is not the best advice for being a Intermediate Rider. So improving is a slow process. Anyway, I Loved the Video.👍 I can’t wait to see more.

    Fantastic Dave, really enjoyed that and glad you liked the GSA! I love my GS, it's the best all around bike I've owned and I've owned many! The mechanical grip it has is excellent. Is there a GS/GSA in your future perhaps?

    It was fun! This was my first GS Safari - there's pros and cons to the event, as with anything. For me the highlights were not having to plan/research the routes, and the chance to meet new peeps. Nearly all the logistics are handled by the BMW Safari team. Really nice to know that the route for each day was (1) open and not some imaginary cattle-herding track copied from a 100 year old map and (2) well-suited to most skill levels and a big bike. I usually do the route planning/research for trips with buddies, so it was a pleasure to outsource that responsibility/risk to someone else for once, hah. The team did a great job in that regard, I feel. And Shaun was great help for many a rider at the creek!

    The Super Ten made a huge impact when it hit our shores around 10 years ago. Some very innovative engineering solutions from a brand new bike. In recent years it's had some updates that polished it up; electronic suspension is one example. I've now ridden all three big heavy weights, the KTM Super Adventure, the Yammy and now the 1250. They are all great bikes. All comfortable mile munchers, although the Yammy is now dating rapidly now that the other two have had serious upgrades. This year Yamaha ceased production of the Super Ten; not sure we're they're heading. I look forward to riding the new KTM Super Adventure R, which should occur in the next couple of months if the moons align. Having said al of that, I still have a soft spot for the Super Ten. I've ridden it in seriously testing conditions in NZ and it did brilliantly. Coincidently on the day I am corresponding with you, Yamaha have advised that my camera bike for the Tenere Tragics will be the Black Super Ten that Clubby rode when we were last in the Flinders Ranges.

The euro bikes have definitely set a cracking pace for innovation, it will be interesting to see if Yamaha choose to continue with a big adv machine. For now I’ll keep using mine to explore the WA outback, a great bike for the job. Do like the big Beemer though.

    Interesting how everyone refers to Bavaria even though since 1969 all German-made BMW motorcycles have been made in the Berlin factory (well worth a tour). Now Berlin makes knockdown kits for bikes (including this one) to be assembled in Brazil and Thailand, and China makes the 750 and 850 engines...Bavaria just manages the cashflow.
